The Atlanta Braves got off to a rough start in 2022.
Not that defending the World Series title was going to be easy, but things weren’t looking great for our defending champs.
But they’ve put those struggles in the rearview mirror and are showing everybody what kind of team they really are.
Things can change quickly.
June came around and all of the sudden, the Braves were the Braves again.
We’re now at roughly the midpoint of the month of June and the Braves have continued their surge.
Last night, they won their 12th straight game and remained undefeated in the month of June.
MLB tweeted a fun little graphic celebrating what the Braves have done this month.

No Signs Of Slowing Down
The Braves are back.
This team was expected to be a real threat to repeat as World Series champions, but things weren’t easy in the early going.
Now, they’ve kicked it into gear and are playing like they were last October.
With Ronald Acuna Jr. back, things have been normal again for this ballclub.
To think that 12 games ago this team was four games below the .500 mark is crazy.
Things really weren’t going well until now.
They’re hot and ready to show the baseball world what they can do.
Their goal is to repeat as World Series champions and create a dynasty in Atlanta.
Tonight, they’ll look to continue their surge as they send staff ace Max Fried to the mound against the Washington Nationals, gunning for their 13th straight win.
This is the type of team that everybody was expecting to see for Atlanta.
Now, they’re fulfilling their expectations and are ready to take another shot at winning a title.
